"The queen sends the white stallion as a
farewell Gift to her Lord Incubu, and bids me
tell my lord that he is the feetest and the
most enduring horse in all the land" said the
soldier, bending to his saddle bow before us.
At first Sir Henry cid not want to take the
horse, saying that he was too good for such
rough work, but persuaded him to do SO,
thinking that Nyleptha would DO hurtif he
did not. Little did guess at the time what
service that noble horse would render in our
sorest need. It Is curious to look back and
realize upon what trivial and apparently ac-
cidental circumstances great events frequently
turn. as easily and as naturally as door on
its hinges.
Well, we took tho horse, and O beauty he
was: It was perfect pleasure to see him
move; and Curtis having sent back his greet
ings and thanks, we proceeded IN our jour
uey.
By midday we overlook the rear guard Of
the great army, Of which Sir Henry formally
took over the command. It was heavy re
sponsibility, and 1t oppressed him very much,
but the queens injunctions on the point were
such as did not admit of being tri6ed with.
He was beginning to find out that greatness
has its responsibilities as well as its glories

cha, who lived IN tho great horse breeding
district, had come IN with twelve thousand
cavalry, and SO on. Indeed, what between
one thing and another, II seemed certain that
she would gather fully armed host Of nearly
one hundred thousand men.
And then camo tho news that she was pro-
posing to break up her camp and march on
The Frowning City itself, desolating the coun-
try as she came. Thereon arose the question
whether it would be best to meet her at
Milosis or to 20 out and give her battle.
When our opinion was asked upon the sub
ject, Good and | unhesitatingly gavo it in
favor Of an advance. II we wore to shut our
selves up in the city and wait 10 be attacked,
Il seemed to us that our inaction would DO

especially on an occasion of this sort, when
very little viii suffice to turn mems opinions
one way or the other, to be up and doing
something Ardor for cause will soon

down to conquer. Therefore we cast our
vote for moving cut and giving battle in the
open, instead Of waiting till we were drawn

Sorais was, and ninety odd miles from Milosis,
the road ron over neck Of land so:no two

either side by forest clad hills which, without
being lofty, would DO quite impracticablo for

looked earnestly at the map, and then, with a
cuickness of perception that in some women
amounts almost to an instinct, she laid her
finger upon this neck OF rising ground, and
turning to her husband, said, with proud
mir of confidence and a toss of the golden
head,
"Here shalt thou meet Sorais' armies. ]

CHAPTER Xxx.
THE BATTLE OF THE PASS.

It was Oh the third morning after this incl
dent of the map that Sir Henry and started.
With the exception OF small guard, all the
great host had moved on the night before,
leaving the browning City very silent and
empty. Indeed, 1t was found impossible to
leave any garrison, with the execution Of q
personal guard for Nyleptha ami about LOCO
inon who from sickness or one cause or an
other were unable to proceed with the army;
but as the place was practically impregliable,
and as our enemy was in front and not behind
us, this did not so much matter.
Cool and Umslopogaas had COMO on with
the army, but Nyleptha accompanied Sir
Henry and myself to the city gates, riding q
magnificent white horse called Daylight,
which was supposed to be tho leetest and
most enduring animal in Zu-Vendis. Her
face bore traces OF recent weeping, but there
were no tears in her eyes now, indeed she was
bearing up hravely against what must have
been bitter trial to her. At the gate she
refined in her horse and babe us farewell. On
the previous day she had reviewed aud adj
dressed the officers Of the great army, speak

rode from rank to rank they cheered her till
the ground shook. And now today the same
mood seemed to be on her.

a needle to spear handle compared to those
of my people, to save us from Sogais. know

lighting, and my fear lest should lose my
head, at which she laughed gently and turned
to Curtis.
"Fare thee well, my lord!n she said. aCome
back with victory, and as king, or on thy
soldiers spears"
Sir Henry said nothing, but turned his
horse to 60; perhaps he had bit of lump
in his throat One gets over it afterwards,
but these sort OF partings are trying when one
has only been married week.

Then we rode ON, but when we had gone
$50 yards or so, we turned and perceived her
